"Our family vacation here is one to remember. We had so much to do in the time we stayed here. The facilities were amazing. Sauna, swimming pool, hot tub in our apartment were all enjoyable . The kids played crazy golf, fed the ducks and played giant chess and It kept them occupied for long. The surrounding area was surreal."

"We had an amazing weekend here! The place was just what we needed and we really enjoyed our stay. The garden was perfect for the dogs and they couldnt get enough of the underfloor heating - Luna was wagging her tail like crazy all weekend! Honestly, the pups were happier than us. Well definitely be returning soon!"

"We loved exploring the charming village theyve built here. The Skiddow was really close to the car park and main areas like reception, restaurant and bar, which was super convenient. The cottage was spotless, roomy and cosy. The kitchen had all the basics. Overall, a great stay-well be back for sure!"

"We had an absolutely lovely stay here and definitely plan to return. The Troutbeck cabin was super cosy and really well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, though we did have to use scissors for pizza since there wasnt a cutter! The layout was pretty unique - all the bedrooms are downstairs and the living space is upstairs, which gave it a bit of an upside-down feel. The main living area was warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing after a day out. Inside, everything was spotless and the beds were really comfy, making it easy to unwind. The location is quite remote, which we actually enjoyed for the peace and quiet, though Penrith isnt exactly nearby for shops - its a bit of a drive. On the plus side, there were some tea bags, coffee and milk sachets waiting for us, so we could have hot drinks right away. The only minor thing was that the hot tub access is through the patio doors in the main bedroom, but honestly, it didnt really bother us. We had a cracking time and would definitely come back!"

"We really enjoyed our stay! The place was spacious and had a lovely, relaxing vibe. Only tiny gripe was the TV - couldnt get it to connect to Wi-Fi or Netflix, but honestly, that didnt matter much since we werent there to binge. Still, a small inconvenience!"

"We just got back from a really nice four-night stay at this cottage. The owners are super friendly but not at all intrusive, which was perfect. The big fenced garden was great for our dog to run around freely. The place had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen and a BBQ for one evening. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! Wed happily come back and already told friends about it. Thanks for a lovely time!"

"Excellent setup and location in need of balconies painting and restaurant closed 2 days, which we understand due to short taff in the kitchen but the bar could of been open.
All in we have stayed 10 times and will make it 11 then 12+"

"We stayed in Caldew 1, myself, my husband and two children aged 7 and 11. The contact free check in worked very well. I arranged an online shop for an hour after we arrived at reception. This was great but next time would meet the van in the guest car park as there is more space. The lodge was well equipped and very clean. The children used the swimming pool twice a day which was fantastic. Our hot tub was serviced every day and we had lots of fun using that. Places I would recommend a visit to with children are - Lowther Castle (huge adventure play area), Aira Force (the kids played in the stream for hours), and Brougham Castle. We packed lunches everyday which saved money. A big thank you to the reception staff at Whitbarrow Village who worked hard to make our stay enjoyable. My daughter particularly enjoyed feeding the ducks with the food you gave her"
